Does this work only on Intel Macs or can it read older processors too?
IE Motorolla/Freescale, IBM (G5's) and older Intel (G3's)

Well,
I dusted off the old G4 and tried it out. It doesn't play well with my digital audio w/ Sonnet 1.4 GHz single but I'm just one user. Considering that Netkas probably wasn't going for PPC optimization I'm guessing that this maybe a non-start for older Macs. However, this is great news for hack users ;D. Between, this and Prime95 all I need is a good temp monitoring app and I can start OCing in Leo instead of jumping back into XP to stress test.
EDIT: Aqua, does CPU-X really not show core voltage? That's a nice bit of info to have when looking for v-droop.

AFAIK, this only works on Intel. The core voltage does not work for me either, but I am sure that Netkas will update this over time.
What do you see with PPC?

Aqua,
Well, nothing actually. Try to run it and I get a console icon in the dock that points to a crashlog that's pretty extensive. I can share if anybody cares but I'm going to agree and say this is an Intel only app.

Hi Nikon,
I would think that this is for Intel only, not sure if Nekas was hacking OSX during PPC days, but I sure am glad he is now!!

It works fine with my processor, no crashing, but i get some funky numbers and the cpu is totally wrong. This is both parts running on my QS with a Sonnet G4 1.4 GHz   |
